Description: | An unusual probable copper-alloy strap end, roughly rectangular in external shape with a flaring terminal end. Measuring 24.5mm in length and 16.6mm in width at its widest point. It is open work with a heart shaped perforation, measuring 16.2mm in length and 10.6mm in width, the tip of the heart shape terminates at the terminal end of the strap end, the top of heart at the attachment end has a small central open work stalk. The strap end becomes wider towards its attachment end which has a longitudinal slot across its edge, measuring 1.32mm in width, 2.3mm in depth and 12mm in length. This slot would have presumably have accomodated a leather strap. Both faces of this probable strap end are decorated with incised boarder grooves with other smaller decorative grooves within these. No parallel could be found for this probable strap end but it is perhaps most likely to be medieval in date.
